I have a US SGP 5.0 and I want to make a copy of the update.zip I have. Where is it located? I have root explorer and can't find it anywhere. Anyone know? It is not on my SD card as I pulled it out.

If your having that many issues, i would go back to JDF and reflash... BUT... If you want, try this...
Download the zip here
http://www.adrive.com/public/9840050...47ef3e95b.html
Extract BOTH files, move to SD...
With Root Explorer find /system/etc
Remove vold.conf and vold.fstab
REPLACE those with the vold files you just extracted from the zip...
Reboot...
SD mounting issue fixed!
ok...im kind of a noob, is there another way to handle this? like is it a flashable -zip somewhere at all? i mean if not, then whatever...but can someone let me know! thanks!!
Hey guys, I recently got the Galaxy SII. Its rooted running Android 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD.DUKJ1.
My issue is trying to run ZIP files from my SD card using ClockWorkMod. I put the files into the SD card root folder and then boot into CWM. When I go run zip file from SD card there is nothing there. CWM cant see any of my files.
I have sucessfully booted ZIPS by placing them in the Phone folder instead of the SD card folder. If I go into My files and then under sdcard/external_sd I can see the file I put on there. CWM just refuses to see these files. When I connect my phone I see 2 folders, Card and Phone. I am putting these zip files in Card. I assume this is correct? Can anyone help?
Cheers
mount ur int sd card
Thanks for the reply, while waiting for a reply I unmounted the SD card, formatted it and then remounted it. I dropped another zip file, once again made sure I could see it in file manager and it was there. Booted in CWM, went to install zip file, went to ext_sd folder and it still says no file found. Under storage the SD card is listed there. Any ideas?

Sounds like you are using version 4.x of CWM, this does not support native updating from dual memory (So it only ever looks at phone memory, while you can manually mount and then update it's not as simple a process and often steps get forgotten)... if you just update to the newer CWM you will see another option appear on the list (apply update from internal memory)... making it much clearer and easier to update. (Or just use your phone memory to hold the zip files, it really doesn't matter that much)
I think you are right, it says v4.0.0.2. Would someone be kind enough to point me to where the latest version is?
Edit- nevermind I think I found it.
Thanks guys

This question is not relevant, as he is referring to Recovery Mode. (Debugging is only optional through normal OS, and can not be changed in recovery without rebuilding the kernel)
Everything is all good guys, the new version of CWM allows me to boot from my SD card and it installed ICS perfect. Thanks again
I skimmed through the forums and i cant find a solution (specifically for the X10) to how i can flash a ROM without the use of a MicroSD card. If WP7 wasnt such a pricky OS i wouldnt have this problem but now since the card is integrated with my Focus i wont be able to use it unless i know someone with a Symbian powered Nokia which is never going to happen.
anyways is there a way i can flash a ROM thats in the .zip folder without using a microSD?
No one? theres gotta be a way
all i want is to take the files in the .zip folder and convert it to a flashable file for the PC application because i have no more MicroSD card

I dont think so. Even there are some methods over bluetooth, you need some external storage for flashable data. Because you cant store flashable file on the same filesystem as is intended to modify when flashed. Yes, maybe cache, but you will need to somehow remount it as /mnt/sdcard instead and not sure if it is even possible in xrecovery.
Hi,
I bought a z2 yesterday. formatted my old 16gb microsdcard to use in my z2. I can see the folders and the phone can read my card. So i tried to download a file directly to my external card but it showed me a error lik "no valdi folder" or something like that. After i tried to create a new folder in my card using a file explorer but it gives me a error "operation stopped". Any idea why and any solution?

On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).
You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.

So this means i cant save any file to my external sdcard?
rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?

Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".
Here is some reference:
http://jrummy-apps.com/fix-sdcard-on-kitkat/
Root access is essential.
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).
See Jackos post above...
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.
File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.
hi all so im hoping you can help me unlock this tablet. reason im looking to root is because i want the ext sd card to be viewed as the sd card, and i cannot change anything in this tablet until it is rooted. i have tried a few things but nothing successful. i used root explorer to view the file i need but when saving file i cant because its not rooted/write protected. anyone have any ideas?
